Hehehe, its at times like this that I really appreciate having moved from
Fleet, to Devon ;)
It just so happens that the Toymaster in Barnstaple had the new catalogue
about a week ago, and so I already own a copy.
I guess I should go back down tomorrow and grab a handful for the weekend ?
Other than the 5 pages of Harry Potter, JP3 studios sets, and new technic
4x4's there's little new/interesting, and overall the catalogue seems less
Lego than ever. Only about a third of its 100 pages could be considered
comparable to a catalogue from just 5 years ago ;(

BTW the colour balance is a bit off in places, like 4561 (the "fast
passenger train" as TLC like to call it) is mostly teal, with orange, dark
pink and lime green accents!

| If you could bring me a catalogue I'd be grateful, as would others I'm sure. I'm not sure the toyshop will be keen on your helping yourself to handfuls of catalogues, though, as I suspect they have to pay for them. Nathaniel (...) (23 years ago, 18-Sep-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)
